Today can only be expressed as adventurous.
This is so why I take the bus, to meet other eccentrics like myself.
I made a new nerd friend today. I saw a mac laptop, which this guy carried around. Funny that I saw him going inbound and outbound. The second time I got gumption and asked to finally desaturate my curiousity for these pretty little "mac tops".
How gratifing it is to talk about little nit picky mac functions and of course, "the big switch". Even better to hear that a previous tech support had some of the same issues that I currently have. Of course, this "switch" was well worth it as he was also going into graphic design, (cool!!) no better way to go then a mac in that rodeo. We both decided that Trekkies are quite fun and terribly misunderstood.
It was great to geek out with someone over the more retro game consoles. Holy shioot this guy had a Jaguar, and was also tracking an intellivision! Those are impossible!! It was easy for him though, from what I understood he was a kid when these consoles were released. I've never talked to someone that has bought a packaged atari or sega off the shelves.
Which reminds me!!! I did not buy that gamegear I found at work. *sobbing* I hope its not gone... Perhaps I can finally get that pac man game for the atari. We all love pac man just admit it. Little yellow chomper dude.
I just got my order for the awesomest tee shirt today. Makes me proud.
I caught the bus to work 20 minutes early but still arrived 20 minutes late because of traffic down in Sunset. One of these days you should all take a day off and observe the Whitney as she darts about in a mad flurry of a hurry. Better than pay per view.
There was more traffic in savers of course, being a monday sale. Sheesh. Too bad though. I heard an ever so familiar voice, and yelled out "Susan?" Responding to her name, my anthropology proffessor turned around and peered out of her designer glasses, "Whitney! How have you been?" Oh, I wished we would have had time to talk. She was picking up some home decor for her cabin. Now that was on the scale of awesome.
On top of all this today people were so kind. I found myself asking how many girls it took to shove a desk in a car after a customer had purchased furniture. One of em was pretty tough actually, just took the reigns and started haulin. That was so so so cool, it was more in her tough ass demeanor than anything. To the point, a stranger offered a hand to these girls, who was parked a little bit away from them, kinda watching us with nothing to do. That was... Nice.
The second, a mother and her son came to my register. I subtotalled and this kid started rummagging through his pockets, as his mom went through her purse. He was what like seven and here he was "dont worry I want to pay for ya" with his baby toothed grin. It was so incredibly cute.
Ashley my coworker said sometime she is going to just go out and relocate to England. Random. Just like that. I also talked quite seriously about leaving the country. We were talking about it and I thought to myself what's keeping me from doing this kind of thing? Why can't I? It's doable, easily doable as seen so well in my aunt's wanderlust. She could give me the low down.
So yes, a day of many an adventure.
